The Chicken Salad Playlist
So I get home from the Rays game last night (down go the Yankees, 7-1), and I have a wicked case of the munchies. I'm not entirely sure when I got home, however I am fairly certain the evening's madcap finale involved Ferg's bar, two surly stewardesses and a boxing video game in which you embarrass yourself and do longstanding vertebrae damage. Good times, good times.
Anyway, in what is becoming a disturbing trend, I eventually find myself at home, in my boxer shorts, in the dark, eating from a giant tub of chicken salad. I'm pretty sure that's the very definition of both insanity and obesity. Per usual, in the morning, this just gives the FF even more ammo, as I have once again (1) eaten her next-day chicken-salad lunch, which I seem to do every other night (2) spent another raucous night with the boys (3) told a story involving the words "two surly stewardesses."
In a good-versus-evil twist, however, it turned out to be demonic chicken salad, and has been raising a heart-torching ruckus all day. I no doubt deserve all this and more. But as you all know, there's only one way to combat dietary malaise. That's right: a curiously themed playlist!
So here we go, The Chicken Salad Playlist:
1) I Play Chicken With the Train -- Cowboy Troy
2) The Chicken Dance -- Lawrence Welk
3) The Bird -- the Time
4) Bird of Prey -- the Doors
5) Disco Duck -- Rick Dees
6) Rubber Ducky -- Ernie
7) Surfin' Bird -- the Cramps
8) I'll Fly Away -- Alison Krauss
9) My Little Chicken -- Adam Sandler
10) Dixie Chicken -- Little Feat

Hey Sean! Here's a perfect song for you. AS punishment, I think you need to publicly do this wearing a chicken suit.

You're a trip, Marissa. I knew I could win you back after my lusty Amanda Overmyer-Daly setback.

By the way, as my buddy Guy can attest, the chicken salad at Publix (our grocery chain down thisaway) is the BEST IN THE WORLD.
There are many reasons for my late-night gorging, but deliciousness is certainly one of them.

I know all about Publix. When I lived down yonder in Georgia, that was my store!
